April 8 - JESUS: CHARISMATIC, SAGE, PROPHET, AND RADICAL REFORMER Jesus was all of these. Today our guest speaker is Rev. Marguerite D. Lovett who served as minister of Long Beach Unitarian Church for more than 17 years. In this talk Marguerite will share a vision of Jesus that may help us with our own vision of him and life. Moderator: Bob Johnson Note that due to the illness of the speaker, this presentation is postponed, and there will not be a meeting today.
April 22 - A
WALK DOWN POLITICAL MEMORY LANE Bob Schieffer, long time TV host
of Face the Nation, wrote the book "Face the Nation" commemorating the
first 50 years of the show's broadcasts. The companion DVD features clips
from some of the show's earliest interviews. Senator Joe McCarthy, Nikita
Khrushchev, and Martin Luther King Jr. are but a few we can choose to watch.
Each clip is about five minutes long and discussion is welcome.
Moderator: Linda Klein
April 29 -
BELTANE WHO? We all know about Passover/Easter, but
what’s this Beltane thing? Must be a character in Shakespeare. No?
Then why do people bother with these minor matters? Some reflections on
getting into spring and moving toward summer. Rev. Jim Conn is the
founding minister of the Church in Ocean Park and served on the Santa Monica
City Council and as the Mayor. He helped found Clergy and Laity United for
Economic Justice, Los Angeles. Jim was a founder of Santa Monica’s
Renter’s Rights Campaign. Penny Hendricks will moderate.
